Slow and Steady: Stor e Telling September October 2010

Tortoise and Hare
from Childhood Favorites 
and Fairy Tales
1909

I have penned the Stor E Telling column since January of 2002 and the articles from 2002-2006 are the publications page of my website found here http://tinyurl.com/llnn47y . I will be adding the columns from 2007 to 2012 to that page as well. However, I am in the process of checking what link URL's have changed or are now defunct. It is a time consuming process so I am taking the “slow and steady” approach via Aesop and will post the individual columns on my blog for now.

I will not be adding current columns until the following year, so if you want immediate access to the newest websites, consider becoming a member of the National Storytelling Network.

Please feel free to comment on the blog and let me know if you find this useful.

Interactivate: Stopwatch – I love this tool! Do you need to time your stories or a workshop presentation? This Internet stopwatch will allow you tick off the time with ease. It allows you to run a stopwatch on the computer screen and can count up from zero or down from a specified time. My thanks to Mary Grace Ketner for passing it along.
